PLAINFIELD — A Willimantic man who police say was driving around town pantsless was charged Wednesday with risk of injury to a minor.

Police said they received a call shortly before 8 p.m. about a juvenile who had been picked up near the Evergreen Cemetery in Plainfield. The caller to police said the juvenile had been picked up by a man, and that once in the car the juvenile noticed the man was "naked from the waist down with his pants bunched around his groin area."

The juvenile got out of the car and went to a friend's house and told them what happened. Police were then called. Police checked the area and found the man and his car in a parking lot on Dow Road.

The driver, Eric Parisek, 40, still had his pants "partially down," the officer noted.

Parisek, of Russ Road, told police he'd driven the juvenile around and was taken into custody on a charge of risk of injury to a minor. He was held in lieu of $50,000 bail for arraignment Thursday in Superior Court in Danielson.
